EVO Product line
best priced stick and feels way more premium than the cost
Well my 2nd review... just like the STECS Standard
The VKB Gladiator NXT EVO 'Space Combat Edition' Premium is simply phenomenal, and I absolutely love it!
The modularity and features of this joystick are beyond impressive, deserving a solid 11/10. The customizability it offers is unparalleled, allowing you to tailor the setup precisely to your preferences and gaming needs.
The build quality is exceptional, with a sturdy and durable design that feels premium in every way. Every button, switch, and hat feels satisfyingly tactile, providing clear feedback with each press or flick. The smoothness of the stick's movement is remarkable, and the precision it offers is top-notch, making it perfect for space combat and other demanding simulations.
The modular design is a standout feature, allowing you to swap out components and customize your setup extensively. This level of personalization is a game-changer, and it truly elevates the gaming experience.
In summary, despite having a small YouTube channel with 73 subscribers at the time of writing, I would love to review more VKB products in the future. The VKB Gladiator NXT EVO 'Space Combat Edition' Premium is an outstanding joystick that sets a new standard for quality and customization. I highly recommend it to anyone looking for the ultimate space combat joystick. It's a worthy investment that will enhance your gaming experience tremendously. 11/10, VKB!
The VKB Gladiator NXT EVO is a game-changer for flight sim enthusiasts like me. It's built tough and feels really solid. The controls are super smooth and precise, making flying feel more natural. Customizing it is a breeze, with interchangeable springs to get the tension just right. The EVO's new features, like the three-position switch and improved processor, make a noticeable difference. It's especially awesome for games like Star Citizen and Elite Dangerous, thanks to the extra buttons and controls on the Premium version. Overall, it's a fantastic investment for a top-notch flight experience
Great feel at a good price. Precision sensors and great springs. Customisable and easy to set up. The configuration software is thorough but requires some time to get used to.
I purchased this to upgrade from my previous setup and it is incredible!
It feels good when in use and looks good when not. The ability to adjust nearly everything in hardware and software make this an incredibly versatile unit! And the ability to change out buttons makes it the perfect addition to my setup.
